What a surprise a package well two packages arrive one full of military ply from my good friend Brian and one from Silver with my tip and some pen blanks who is a lucky fellow so as I was going to make some bullet pens from the shells which Alex kindly gave me aint this forum great a big thank you to you 3 guys for your wonderful kindness

Pens made from this ply sell exceptionally well when I tell them they are made from crates that were dropped over Afghanistan with military motor bikes in them and the proceeds will go to Help 4 Heroes I will be making more of them tomorrow so wish me luck

Lovely pens Woody, Love 'em.

Someone asked me what I sold, was it pens? Nope I said, I sell stories! A pen with a story sells, a pen is otherwise a pen!

Do you coat the cartridge with anything to stop it tarnishing?

Hi Neil all I do with the shells is polishing compound on a buffing wheel I still have a brass pen I made a few years ago and it is still as bright as when I first polished it

Well done dad they look really good init?
Some of that ply may have small holes through it as I am getting to the last of it now.
I just plug the holes with sticktail cocks, that does the job easy init?
